The Sport Management Club at SU, in collaboration with Steiner Sports Memorabilia, is holding an online auction of more than 25 premium items at http://bit.ly/TC9Whl now through Dec. 16.

Just in time for the holidays, this online auction is part of the Sport Management Club’s Charity Sports Auction to benefit Special Olympics New York.

The online auction offers a wide range of sports memorabilia that makes great gift ideas, including a New York Knicks basketball signed by Anthony, Thomas, Kidd, Chandler and Coach Woodson; a Shaq-autographed basketball; Moses Malone-signed 76ers jersey, a pair of Maria Sharapova-autographed tennis sneakers, as well as a 2012 Deutsche Bank Championship Pin Flag signed by the top 100 FedEx Cup golfers, including Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods.

The online auction will also feature once-in-a-lifetime experiences, including a meet-and-greet with Tony Reali and a one-hour live taping and a studio tour of ESPN’s "Pardon the Interruption." A special package at Captiva Island, Florida’s Tween Waters Inn is also available for bidding.
